ftrace/kprobes: Fix not to delete probes if in use
Fix kprobe-tracer not to delete a probe if the probe is in use. In that case, delete operation will return -EBUSY. This bug can cause a kernel panic if enabled probes are deleted during perf record. (Add some probes on functions) sh-4.2# perf probe --del probe:\* sh-4.2# exit (kernel panic) This is originally reported on the fedora bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742383 I've also checked that this problem doesn't happen on tracepoints when module removing because perf event locks target module. $ sudo ./perf record -e xfs:\* -aR sh sh-4.2# rmmod xfs ERROR: Module xfs is in use sh-4.2# exit [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.203 MB perf.data (~8862 samples) ] Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Frank Ch.
